Add external vector tiles

Add vector map tiles from an external source, using the {z}/{x}/{y} URL scheme.

final class ViewController: UIViewController {
private var mapView: MapView!

do {
try mapView.mapboxMap.addSource(vectorSource)
} catch {
showAlert(with: error.localizedDescription)
}

// Define the layer's positioning within the layer stack so
// that it doesn't obscure other important labels.
do {
